Mountain View - Landscaping

The luxurious resort-style pool with an infinity edge is a standout feature at the rear of the house, seamlessly blending with the sprawling meadow and offering stunning views of the picturesque Coomera River beyond. This serene setting creates a captivating backdrop for relaxation and enjoyment.

Adjacent to the pool, a sunken lounge provides the perfect vantage point to witness the breathtaking sunsets over Tamborine Mountain. It is a cozy and inviting space where one can unwind while being captivated by the natural beauty that surrounds them.

The design concept embraces a harmonious combination of materials, employing a muted palette of Moroccan limestone and grey mosaic pool tiles. These elements beautifully contrast with the dark charcoal tones of the outdoor furniture and sun-shades, creating an elegant and sophisticated ambiance.

Attention to detail extends to the driveway, which gracefully sweeps down towards the front of the house. Here, ample parking has been provided using Belgium recycled granite cobbles sourced from Eco Outdoor. This sustainable choice not only adds a touch of luxury but also complements the overall aesthetic of the property.

To further integrate the house into its natural surroundings, rolling lawns have been meticulously crafted to mimic the surrounding landscape. Broad plantings of native grasses and shrubs have been strategically placed, adding a sense of tranquility and harmony to the outdoor space.

The front garden makes a striking statement with the inclusion of mature Australian Boab trees, Bottle Trees, and a Pony Tail Tree. These majestic specimens instantly provide a sense of scale and drama to the main entry, leaving a lasting impression on visitors.

Creating intimate spaces for the family to enjoy was a priority in the design process. The landscape architects achieved this by designing a series of outdoor rooms. One such space is a small Mediterranean-style courtyard featuring a captivating olive tree and a fragrant planting of rosemary and lavender. This courtyard leads to a practical and convenient kitchen garden, complete with raised beds and an assortment of culinary herbs. These areas, located in close proximity to the kitchen, offer an ideal setting for family gatherings and outdoor dining experiences.

Completing the outdoor experience is an exquisite outdoor kitchen. This culinary haven boasts a large wood-fired cooking fire from Escea, finished in black standing seam to match the roof. The kitchen features leather-finished black granite countertops, chunky raw timbers, and stunning brown onyx accents. This combination of materials and finishes creates an inviting and functional space for cooking, entertaining, and enjoying the outdoors.

In summary, the landscape design of this exquisite property showcases a seamless integration of natural elements, luxurious amenities, and thoughtful details. From the resort-style pool to the sunken lounge, from the native plantings to the captivating front garden, every aspect of the outdoor space has been meticulously crafted to create a harmonious and inviting environment that offers the ultimate in relaxation and enjoyment.
